Oh, how I loved Paul Anka for decades. Then he dumped his wife after decades of marriage and five kids (at least five, could have been six — my brain doesn’t recall). As much as I love his music, I look at him now and I just groan. …

This is a review for GHS Electric Boomers guitar strings. These have been around since 1964 and have been a standard in the industry. The great thing about these is the price and consistency of the strings. I’ve been through every brand of string you could imagine and I’m …

This very first Cranberries album was somehow, never my favourite. Maybe the raw simplicity, or maybe the short songs, I couldn’t appreciate its beauty. Of course, only until, you actually experience all those things Dolores O’riordan writes and sings about, only then, can you grasp the essence of this …

Bad Kids is a song by Black Lips which I initially heard on the soundtrack to the film 500 Days Of Summer. I will admit that I’m not that familiar with this band so my review will really focus on this song as a whole rather than being a …

I’ve liked a few tunes by Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics. I’m not overly fond of mellow music, especially by female singers. When my friend loaned me her Annie Lennox Medusa CD I didn’t jump at the opportunity to listen to it right away. In fact, it …

Years ago, someone introduced me to the wonderful works of Erich Kunzel, director of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. He’s really quite good. Then the opportunity came along to enjoy Kunzel’s work along with a huge favorite of mine, Star Trek. With a spoken and dramatic introduction …

Taylor Swift is truly a good singer-songwriter. I really love her debut album which really presents wonderful music with such a nice composition, arrangement and lyrics.
I really love the song ‘Teardrops on my Guitar’. According to Taylor Swift in an interview, this is a story of her personal experienc. …

Sia is one of the few older artists that keep on releasing interesting music. Unlike many singers her age, it seems like she was able to “modernize” her sound but still keep it true to her roots. Chandelier and Cheap Thrills proved to be huge hits around the globe …

Tik Tok is the debut single by American singer Kesha. It is an electro pop dance track. It has a nice sound but since the date i first heard, i realized that she inspired of Lady Gaga too much especially inspired of her song Just Dance. The lyrics and …

Many people would say Lady Gaga’s new album “The Fame Monster” is not a good album. I can see where they are coming from. There are only eight different songs, and it is hard to understand any of them. However, to me, it is quickly becoming one of my …

Rhyme Asylum is a British hip-hop group composed of rappers Possessed, Psiklone and Skirmish. Their debut album, State of Lunacy, a brilliant demonstration of true lyricism, was released in 2008.
State of Lunacy includes sixteen tracks, each one better than the last. Of all the songs on the album, …

No Other One is a song by Weezer which appears on their sophomore effort, Pinkerton. Though the very start of the track is pretty electric and upfront, the start of the verse calms down a bit and focuses on Rivers delivering the lyrics in a fairly melodic tone. Acting …

Don’t matter by Akon is a song about how a guy and a girl are together but nobody wants them to be together. This song is my favorite but Akon is a nut now. This song is about a relationship the guy and the girl want to last …

This is not the best album by the band. This is not even one of their best albums. But at the same time this album is still very good. And it has some features which are truly unique, interesting, and original. This album is kind of experimental even for …

Still Life is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Piece Of Mind. The track starts off with this very odd talking section which I’ve read is meant to be played backwards in order to take a jab and poke some fun at the critics deeming …

For starters, I’m not a fan of pop music. But I am a dancer. So of course I’m inclined to dance to pop music every once in awhile. I picked up Britney Spear’s album “Circus” and the best song on there is clearly “Mannequin.” It’s …

Anyone who’s seen the show “A Different World” (hit 1987 spinoff of sitcom, “The Cosby Show”) probably remembers the earthy, bohemian airhead named Freddy. Her real name is Cree Summer, and when you hear her slightly whiny, yet melodic voice on her debut album “Street Fairie“, you’ll …

The band Blue Oyster cult has a really big 80s hit off their album The Revölution by Night in 1983. It was the largest single off that album. This song was featured on a poor selling Cult album but I really like it because it fits the time of …

Overview - L.A. Woman, The Door’s final album while Jim Morrison was alive, is an album that has a lot of blues influence to it, which I wasn’t a huge fan of, but also some of the best songs The Doors have ever put out. Morrison’s death truly is …

Throwin The Round Ball is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. In contrast to Runnin The Round Ball, this track has far less of a building feel to it, but it is also another instrumental. Rather than having a more traditional musical …

I have recently become more of a fan of rap and hip hop music than I used to be when I first became obsessed with music. I have really begun to appreciate what a lot of rap artists are doing with their music these days because it sounds a …

“Duel of the Iron Mic” appears off of GZA debut album “Liquid Swords”. For those of you whom are unfamiliar, GZA is part of super group Wu-Tang Clan. In the early 90’s it was safe to say that the Wu-Tang Clan had a respectable ensemble of members in their …

Overview —“ Trust, the lead-off song of Megadeth’s seventh record, Cryptic Writings, is a video and song that I remember being praised and gaining a lot of airplay on MTV so I’m curious to see if I agree with that opinion. I’ll admit that the albums between Countdown To …

Music to Your Ears: A Collection of Holiday Music is a CD from Sony Music. It is full of Christmas selections which are orchestral in nature. I do have moments when I love to listen to classical, but usually Christmas isn’t one of them. For the …

Country music performing artists have no shortage of songs that move people by making them take a look at how they live their own lives, and the song ‘The Little Girl’ by John Michael Montgomery is no exception.
This sad tale tells the story of a little girl, neglected by …

The song, Can We Talk by Code Red is a fantastic song. This song is a cover version and it is extremely nice and upbeat. Code Red is a British boy band but I think they are non-existent already.
If I’m not mistaken, they only manage to …

I think that Howl is a very strong album. This is an album, which has a very high emphasis on songs. By that I mean that, with many artists, they would have 10 or 15 songs on an album, and all the songs would sound very similar to each …

Overview —“ Hitchin’ A Ride, the first music video released by Green Day for their album Nimrod is a music video that focuses primarily on a performance video with the band playing the song in a theater. To be honest, I thought Nimrod had some pretty good songs on …

This album is a fantastic work of musical art. There are some moments that clearly have weak spots. Some songs should have been on the album from my point of view because they are not consistent and high quality enough, but the main course, the central piece of the …

It was a song by Hillsong but this particular song was sung by Kate Spence. A very good singer with a tranquil voice that will make you sing along as the melody gives smooth to the ears when you listen to it.
I like how soft the guitar strum is …

In 1996 Caroline Records released this box set featuring every song the original lineup of The Misfits ever recorded on 4 cds, packaged in a coffin shaped box, including a large booklet a fiend club pin. The first disc includes many songs from collections I and II, the second …

The liner jacket for Barry Manilow: Summer of ‘78 CD is nothing more than a very long credits listing, so that’s a little disappointing. There is a quick few lines signed by Barry on the last page, but that doesn’t help to make the liner worthwhile. When …

Kenny Chesney sings this song called You Save Me. It is about how his wife or girl friend saves him from getting into more and more trouble. It kinds of relates to the old saying that behind every good man there is a great woman somewhere pushing him along …
